The money that we tax on people essentially goes back to the people. Taxes pay for schools, teachers, and many government programs that benefit you. You do know that the reason why Revolutionary War veterans did not receive a paycheck was because we did not have any taxes.

A unitary government means the national government has all the power. The new constitution would actually be a federal system. We would have a large republic controlled by an executive, legislative, and judicial branch. The legislative branch ensures that the people get a say. Also this creates a federal system where the states can check the national government and the national government can check to states.

Of course our rights will remain protected with the new constitution. However, TOO much democracy given to the people will essentially create a huge majority and a small minority. The majority will essentially overrule everyone and will result in a tyrannical government. For example: In Salem, Massachusetts the majority had complete control on how the town ran. If the majority blamed someone in the minority. That person in the minority had no choice but to join the majority or die.

Although the new constitution presents a large republic, the large republic is controlled by having an executive, legislative, and judicial branch. The articles of confederation are too vague and it does not even have a court system?? There are so many things that need to be ratified unless you want more "Shay Rebellions" to pop up through out the country.

Exactly! How are we supposed to be the United States of America if each state is acting like its own separate country!!!

In Federalist 51 James Madison says, “In republican government, the legislative authority necessarily predominates.” The Legislative branch is TOO powerful and TOO democratic. When the people vote, only the majority will be represented. This would cause a tyranny of the majority. Also commoners should not have control on things like the country's taxes or they would have access to pass ridiculous forgiveness laws. Through the Articles of Confederation people were paying things in carrots!!? Where you have too much power you must restrict it.

You said this so well. You definitely can notice racism cultivating generation after generation. Being properly educated on understanding race would definitely ease that tension.

America's education system has indeed failed us to understand one another. I agree that race should be talked about in school. If we understood more about each other's background and history, I feel like we would definitely get more along together as a society.

I 100% agree with you. Yes, every race should be spoken about because they do make up our history. I also find it ironic that we do not learn much about Native Americans because this is their country.

I agree. We can see now history repeating itself. People were so shocked on the reactions of African-Americans and many others from the killings of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor. If we would have been educated more about our history, people would have more of an understanding of our anger.
